Our Mission
Safe Inc. of Schenectady exists to provide outreach, shelter, counseling, and supportive services to homeless youth who are at-risk and may be vulnerable to or have been subjected to sexual exploitation and trafficking.
What We Do
At Safe Inc. we aim to combat youth homelessness and exploitation through prevention, crisis services, and case management. We address each of these issues through our McIntosh House, Project Safe programs and anti-trafficking.
McIntosh House
The McIntosh House, previously known as Safe House, is the only certified emergency youth shelter in Schenectady County. The McIntosh House is certified by the New York State Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS) to serve youth 16-20 years old—including teen parents and their infants or toddlers—that are runaways, homeless and/or sexually exploited.
Project Safe
Project Safe consists of our Street Outreach, life skills, and anti-trafficking programs. These non-residential programs provide services that are designed to address the needs of persons aged 12-35 who have been, or are at risk of being, homeless and/or trafficked.
